In the classic 1993 comedy film “Groundhog Day,” star Bill Murray plays a bitter local TV newscaster forced to relive Groundhog Day (February 2) over and over again in a time loop until he learns how to be a better person.
To celebrate the quirky American holiday that honors a large burrowing rodent’s ability to forecast the weather, Melissa & Doug rolls out a specially curated selection of our toys that your kids can play with over and over…and over and over…again and again!
We call that playability, and that directly speaks to the value you get out of the toys your child enjoys most. Think of a toy’s playability as an investment that generates a great return compared to what you spent. Plus, while your kids are engaged with our most playable toys, they’re practicing important developmental skills that they’ll need for preschool and beyond.
Scroll on to see the specially curated selection of our most playable toys, just in time for Groundhog Day. What's it going to be: Early Spring, or six more weeks of Winter?
